Prime Inc has announced its Contractors and Company Drivers of the Year. “To make it to the top is an honor,” said Prime company driver Charles Plant of Duncan OK, who has been with Prime for seven years. “There are a lot of great drivers out there. To be selected as one of the best makes you feel good.” Altogether, Prime recognized nine contractors and company drivers for 2012. In the Refrigerated Division, the honor went to drivers Shane and Johnna Morgan of Brunson SC; solo contractor Chad Daniel of Springfield MO; and team drivers Berinus Paul of Bellflower CA and Curtis Parks of Phoenix AZ.

In the Flatbed Division, the honor went to Plant and contractor Bill Whoberry of Bradford TN. In the Tanker Division, the honor was given to driver Doug Adams of Portland TN and contractor Rod Brown of Houston TX. “We felt pretty awesome. We have worked for a lot of trucking companies. None of them have ever recognized us,” said Johnna Morgan. “It made us feel good to know that we were the best company team drivers. A lot of companies don’t care to recognize drivers for stuff like that.” Prime recognizes how valuable drivers and contractors are to the company’s success. According to John Hancock, director of recruitment and driver training, the company offers a variety of programs that reward hard work and dedication to service and safety. “Along with Contractor and Driver of the Year, we also recognize a Driver of the Month, and we sponsor a Prime Millionaire Program that rewards drivers for continuing accident-free service,” said Hancock. “We also offer a wide range of incentives designed to promote safety, on-time service, fuel consumption, tractor maintenance, and more.”
